Fantasia & scifi
A master of subterfuge, a rogue thief with a noble air, Seregil of Rhiminee has taught his young prot├®g├®, Alec of Kerry, his greatest secrets of the trade. Together they've made their way with thieving jobs large and small, winning friends and enemies, their lives in constant danger and yet charmed by an aura of magic, friendship, and trust.
But now, as their adopted country prepares for war, Seregil is called away by the ancient wizard Nysander to face the ultimate challenge of loyalties and is entrusted with a deadly knowledge that, if breached, could cost both Seregil and the unwitting Alec their lives. As Alec learns the shocking truth of his own shadowed heritage, he, Seregil, and a handful of loyal companions are catapulted into a tumultuous conflict with the ultimate evil—a conflict in which magic alone may no longer shield them from harm.

This was an exciting, nerve-wracking and emotional journey, keeping you hooked through every chapter right until the end. I would give this 4,5 stars if I could, and the only reason for any gripes for me was the handling of the issue of Alec's consent for his first time (you can't give it if you're under any kind of influence) and the way too damn blasé way everyone reacted to it (even congratulating him *sigh*), as well as Seregil basically being coerced into the acts he did at the mountain village during his quest. All of that echoes the sentiment "women can't rape men" too much for my liking. But apart from that and anxiously having to hear about Alec being held in the hands of the enemy, this book was just as amazing as the first, honestly the perfect sequel. I loved the very real-feeling struggles of Seregil and Alec finding what they mean to one another, especially the tender bittersweetness of it. I already need more!
